[swift-dev] Requiring Xcode 7.3 to build Swift master for Apple platforms?

[Andrew Hyatt]

Agreed. The minimum OS X version for Xcode 7.3 is 10.11.0, which would make El Capitan required to run Swift 3.0.

I have some workarounds in place that I'd like to remove since they suppress linker coalescing of some constant strings. Would anyone object to us requiring using Xcode 7.3 to develop Swift for OS X and other Apple platforms? If not, we could conditionalize the workarounds behind a flag, though that's additional complexity and testing surface I'd like to avoid.
